Playing hide-the-pump

Well, my Zefal Competition had a catastrophic failure; considering it's almost as old as one VP nominee, I guess that's OK. I wanted to replace it and a friend really recommended something called the Topeak Morph Turbo, so i bought one and it showed up yesterday. looks like it's well made, reasonably light, and will hit serious pressures.

But it's not C&V. Before ordering, I figured it, being so short, could stuff inside my underseat tubular carrier (have not ridden tubulars in many years) along with the spare tube, tire irons, etc. Alas, the bag is eleven inches long, the pump almost fourteen. Anyone seen something underseat that might accommodate the pump? Not looking for a touring bag here, I don't carry much else.

My friend suggested I simply fabricate some Zefal decals for the new pump.
